The most important contributing factor that has made Tandou a successful agribusiness over the last 30 years is our highly trained and motivated, professional staff. Our staff come from a diverse range of backgrounds and life experiences but one thing that they have in common is a drive to get the job done right, first time, and on time. Consultancy is more than advice on problem management. At Tandou we are committed to being intrinsically involved with your business to help it grow and become more successful.
To service such a specialised need requires well trained agronomists. Tandou’s commitment to service this industry is such that all staff involved within this consultancy are post graduate qualified. On a practical level, all team members are conversant with Occupation Health and Safety requirements and legislation, and hold applicable NSW Workcover licences including forklift, loader, backhoe
, crane, and bobcat. All team members hold current Farm Chemical Users Certificates.
With experience in EPA compliance Tandou also offer specialised staff with the ability to cost effectively help you through localised EMS projects. By having run our own systems we can offer solutions that are practical and manageable within your site. Tandou also offer larger businesses a solution to contract work without the problem of finding specialised staff to undertake scientific work. With an appreciation of farming systems we can offer trial protocols that will produce the most robust data to extend to your customers.
Tandou itself specialises in the 
business of efficient water use, we can in a number of ways analyse water use efficiency and suggest savings measures. Specifically we have the knowledge, experience and product access to provide polyacrylamide (polymer or PAM) solutions to water losses in storage and transmission. We offer sales and service of recommended polymer products and technical equipment and support for any seepage treatment project or trial you wish to undertake. See below for links to comprehensive research and case studies detailing Tandou’s previous experience and success in this area.
We currently have a wide range of agronomy services that can help your business increase its profitability. Simply email to register your interest. Our team is ready to speak with you to determine the best way to solve potential problems within an affordable budget.
